We have stayed at Karl Residency for 3 times (for all Mumbai trips in last 2 years) and we have always found it very comfortable stay-wise as well as location wise. Also, entire staff right from managers to room servers and helpers have always been very courteous and helpful. They also guide you for a transport requirements and help in arranging the one. They have their own cabs for airport. Overall, I will always recommend Karl residency for comfortable, affordable and pleasant stay for a trip ...

Stayed here for a week on a business trip.
Pros:
1) Location: close to andheri stn.
2) Room: Clean and decent sized
3) Linen: Clean. Bath towels were a mix of soft and hard. Had to get them changed couple of times.
4) Helpful staff
5) In room wifi worked well
Cons:
1) Too many "in your face" Don'ts plastered around by the hotel management.
2) Breakfast though complimentary was fairly limited in choice.

Cons:

2) Breakfast though complimentary was fairly limited in choice.
3) The hotel hosts a number of parties and events which tend to be noisy especially if your room is on the upper floors.
4) Calls made to housekeeping went unanswered a few times. Once, the response was, "the housekeeping boy is in the loo so please call back in 5 minutes".
5) The air-conditioning vents in the room need cleaning.
The hotel has employed a number of young chaps who are in need of jobs but their training needs to be brushed up a bit.
Overall a decent experience, worth a re-visit.

I have been here many times for Conference , weddings , i have stayed here , The restaurant food is fabulous which they offer. If people want to travel they can hire a taxi from hotel which they provide and its nearby the station so if you going to town then you can catch the train as well. The rooms are very clean and the staff is very good

I stayed here for a night and it's all worth it. The rooms are basic and clean. We reached ay 11:15 and got outlr room early. The hotel is pretty old and can be seen through the interior. But everything is very neat and well maintained. The floor, lamps and interiors specially of Cafe Popo gives a vintage European feel. Loved it. Best if you have a flight to catch.

This is review of Cafe Popo restaurant in karl residency. Pl be informed that i have not stayed in this hotel.
This review is for Sunday lunch.
Visited Cafe Popo on 15th May 2016, sunday.
This is a restaurant at Karl residency in Lalubhai Park area in Andheri West.
We had groupon (now nearbuy) voucher for 4 course meal.
For mocktails we ordered Ice Tea and Virgin Mojito which was ok.
For starters we had paneer burnt garlic chilly which was very nice, tasty and served on wooden plate over tissue paper.
The funny part was that the starters came before mocktails.
For starters we had salli chicken (parsi dish). Chicken seemed bit hard (but not stale). gravy was just tomato based so nothing great in taste.
in veg main course, we had paneer dish (probably paneer handi) which was also ok.
dal roti and naan were nice.
The place hardly has 16-18 seats.
When we (my wife, child and me) went two separate big fussy families had come and were cribbing about the heat (ac i feel was working fine) and seating.
the restaurant has two entry. one from the road and other from the hotel. patrons staying in the hotel or using the banquet hall mistake the restaurant door for exit door and so there is constant disturbance which is very irritating.
service is ok.
the nearbuy voucher was available for 749 (but I got it at less using discount code) for 2 mocktails1 starter, 1 main course, unlimited rotis, dal and rice. but since the menu is reasonably priced i do not see much value buying the voucher for rs 749.
my neices had been there a week before us they took liked it (mocktails, chicken lollypop, chicken main course). in deserts they had sizzling brownie which was good. However we were given options from 1 Ice Cream / Gulab Jamun (we opted for gulab jamun) which was ok.
Café Popo has happy hours from 11 AM to 7 PM and serve kingfisher beer pint for rs 99 (with tax) which is of super value. however they do not keep Budweiser beer. When asked for a reason i was told that no one drinks Budweiser beer!!! so they keep only or two kind of beer. i think fosters is the other one.
It is not a great or must-be place but quality and quantity at the price which they serve makes it worth visiting.

Though room was neat and tidy, it was quiet old which badly in need of renovation. It seems this hotel management is not willing to move ahead with times in terms of delighting it's guest. Check-in was fast, all basic amenities were readily available. Room service was good. Customer service was good. Restaurant food was ok. Incharge and staff in restaurant could have been more courteous.

Location is OK, close to Andheri station. Check in was not very good, receptionist was incompetent and rude. Hallway reeked of cigarette smoke. TV had issues. Breakfast was less than ordinary. Overall not the nicest place you can stay at.

I stayed at Hotel Karl Residency for two weeks in Jul 16.
Rooms here are pretty decently done up and considering a little crammed up foyer and reception, the size of rooms and washrooms are decent. There is no view from any of the rooms, accept that hotel is located in very densely populated area of Mumbai. The hotel is next to Lalubhai park which is a well known land mark for most of cabs or rikshaw drivers.

There is no view from any of the rooms, accept that hotel is located in very densely populated area of Mumbai. The hotel is next to Lalubhai park which is a well known land mark for most of cabs or rikshaw drivers.
They have a small dining area and small bar cum restaurant. While the restaurant is decent, the dining hall is very very old fashioned, with canteen style chairs and worn out sofas. The food is very very decent with limited choice. If food is your last priority you can go ahead to book it.
They have wonderful wifi service, you can actually download big files or watch a you tube video without waiting for buffering. They outsource the laundry, still it's prompt.
Overall a decent hotel for its price tag.

Nothing fancy.The breakfast spread needs to improve - the staff seemed uninterested in the breakfast area to extend adequate support.
The hotel rooms are small however for the cost - it makes sense.Booked through Nightstay for an amazing deal.Very close to the airport and is quite convenient therefore for quick airport travel.

Submitted on 24-11-2016

Stay was average. This was because, bedding was average, they refused to give us a second spare mattress, even for another room, room was huge btw, and we were willing to pay. Food was too bad, breakfast spread was minimal, tea and coffee were perennially empty, dosas took too long and taste was overall not great. Internet didnt seem to work. AC was good, location was away from the bazaar side which we realized after checking in, but that was ok. Dont know what to say more, mixed reaction.
